Assuming there is a buyer waiting to take ARM private seems pretty unlikely.
If you happen to hold the majority of shares and then try to sell them suddenly you’ll sell them at a discount. Just look at TSLA when Elon had to liquidate significantly to pay for TWTR.

The whole premise of this comment thread is that ARM made more by selling 10% of its stock on a public market than they would have by selling 100% of it to Nvidia. In other words: there already was a buyer who wanted to take ARM private. So how does it seem unreasonable to assume one would exist, when we already know that one did?
- alex_young 3y agoOk. Let’s play that out. Nvidia walks away from a negotiation at 40 and now they are waiting around to do a leveraged buyout at 70? Why?
- TechBro8615 3y agoThey didn't walk away from it. They were blocked from making the acquisition.
